Problem of Matrices - Trace of matrix

• Trace of a matrix is defined as the sum of the elements on the main diagonal of the matrix.
• It is denoted by Tr(A), where A is the matrix.
• For a square matrix A of order n x n, the trace is given by the formula: Tr(A) = a11 + a22 + a33 + … + ann, where aij is the element in the ith row and jth column. Example:
• Consider a matrix A = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
• The trace of matrix A is Tr(A) = 1 + 5 + 9 = 15. Equation:
• Tr(A) = a11 + a22 + a33 + … + ann

Problem of Matrices - Trace of matrix

Definition of Trace

• Trace of a matrix is the sum of the elements on the main diagonal.
• It helps in understanding the properties of a matrix.

Equation

• For a square matrix A of order n x n, the trace is given by:
  • Tr(A) = a11 + a22 + a33 + … + ann

Properties of Matrix Trace

1. Trace remains same under matrix addition:
   • Tr(A + B) = Tr(A) + Tr(B)

2. Trace remains same under matrix scalar multiplication:
   • Tr(cA) = c * Tr(A), where c is a scalar

3. Trace of a product of matrices is commutative:
   • Tr(AB) = Tr(BA)

4. Trace of a product of three matrices is cyclic:
   • Tr(ABC) = Tr(BCA) = Tr(CAB)

5. Trace of transpose of a matrix:
   • Tr(A^T) = Tr(A)

Example

Consider the matrices:

• A = [[2, 4], [6, 8]]
• B = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] Find the trace of A + B. Solution:
• A + B = [[2+1, 4+2], [6+3, 8+4]] = [[3, 6], [9, 12]]
• Tr(A + B) = 3 + 12 = 15

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[2, 4], [6, 8]] and scalar c = 3. Find the trace of cA. Solution:

• cA = [[32, 34], [36, 38]] = [[6, 12], [18, 24]]
• Tr(cA) = 6 + 24 = 30

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[2, 4], [6, 8]] and matrix B = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]. Find the trace of AB. Solution:

• AB = [[21 + 43, 22 + 44], [61 + 83, 62 + 84]] = [[14, 20], [30, 44]]
• Tr(AB) = 14 + 44 = 58

Example

Consider the matrices:

• A = [[2, 4], [6, 8]]
• B = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
• C = [[5, 6], [7, 8]] Find the trace of ABC. Solution:
• ABC = [[60, 72], [136, 164]]
• Tr(ABC) = 60 + 164 = 224

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[2, 4], [6, 8]]. Find the trace of A^T. Solution:

• A^T = [[2, 6], [4, 8]]
• Tr(A^T) = 2 + 8 = 10

Additional Properties

6. Trace of a matrix raised to power k:
   • Tr(A^k) = Tr(A) + Tr(A^2) + … + Tr(A^(k-1)) + Tr(A^k)

7. Trace of a matrix is equal to the sum of its eigenvalues:
   • Tr(A) = λ1 + λ2 + λ3 + … + λn, where λ1, λ2, λ3, …, λn are the eigenvalues of A

8. For any square matrix A and B of the same size, if A is symmetric and B is skew-symmetric, then:
   • Tr(AB) = 0

9. For any square matrix A and B of the same size, if A is symmetric and B is orthogonal, then:
   • Tr(AB) = Tr(A) * Tr(B)

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[3, 1], [4, 2]]. Find the value of Tr(A^3). Solution:

• A^3 = A * A * A = [[45, 15], [60, 20]]
• Tr(A^3) = 45 + 20 = 65

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[3, 1], [4, 2]]. Find the sum of eigenvalues of A. Solution:

• The eigenvalues of A can be found by solving det(A - λI) = 0, where I is the identity matrix.
• det(A - λI) = [[3-λ, 1], [4, 2-λ]]
• (3-λ)(2-λ) - 4 = 0
• λ^2 - 5λ + 2 = 0
• Solving this quadratic equation, we get λ1 ≈ 5.83 and λ2 ≈ -0.83
• Sum of eigenvalues = λ1 + λ2 = 5.83 + (-0.83) ≈ 5

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[2, 3], [-3, 2]] and the matrix B = [[0, 1], [-1, 0]]. Find the trace of AB. Solution:

• AB = [[-3, 2], [-2, -3]]
• Tr(AB) = -3 + (-3) = -6

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[1, 2], [2, -1]] and the matrix B = [[-1, 1], [1, -1]]. Find the value of Tr(AB). Solution:

• AB = [[1, -1], [1, -3]]
• Tr(AB) = 1 + (-3) = -2

Example

Consider the matrix A = [[2, 1], [1, 3]] which is symmetric, and the matrix B = [[1, 1], [1, -1]] which is orthogonal. Find the value of Tr(AB). Solution:

• Since A is symmetric and B is orthogonal, we can use the property:
  • Tr(AB) = Tr(A) * Tr(B)
• Tr(A) = 2 + 3 = 5
• Tr(B) = 1 + (-1) = 0
• Tr(AB) = 5 * 0 = 0
